FS Free: Autopiano Double-Valve Player Action
By Andy Taylor

Hi,  While passing by an old antique shop on Highway 5, I caught the
glimpse of a player piano on the porch.  Upon closer investigation it
turned out to be an old Autopiano, of around 1910.  Sadly, too far gone
for restoration.

They told me that the piano was going to be scrapped.  I pulled the
stack and the player parts, including the levers and control pneumatics.
The foot pumps were gone in an earlier effort to "electrify" the system.

So if anyone needs an old double-valve Autopiano stack and various
parts, it's yours for the shipping cost.
